Rudy Green Wild Life...plus (CD)

(2010/EL TORO) 27 tracks 1940/50s (70:25) A Mysteriously elusive figure, until now guitarist Rudy Green has been merely a footnote to the histories of the rich Nashville and Chicago R&B scenes of the 1940s and 1950s. This compilation seeks to rectify this unwarranted neglect of a fine performer and includes the complete issued recordings of Rudy Green from his Nashville debut in 1946 to his last known single back in Music City over a decade later. Also included are a few examples of Rudy's work as a session guitarist in Chicago in the 1950s.
